It's just scalpers trying it on. No one will be paying £500 for this! Lol!

Can't understand why they would put it on so high. There maybe someone with a few screws loose who'd but for that though lol.

Overall
It's been a long time coming, but the UK finally has a Fright night Blu-ray release worthy of the film’s cult following and the eBay scalpers can be consigned to the basement with the rest of Jerry’s relics. Eureka's disc utilises the same gorgeous 4K transfer as previous releases, but with slightly tighter compression making for arguably the best looking version yet. The audio also receives a boost thanks to the inclusion of the original stereo, but it is the bonus material that really shines when compared to what’s come before. The lack of an isolated score and some slight repetition aside this is easily the most comprehensive home video release of Fright Night yet, offering hours of content that’s actually worthwhile. It’s a pity that the Steelbook was only available in such limited numbers (many of which were bought by eBay scalpers), but if you can wait until next April for the standard release you’re in for a real treat. Fright Night comes highly recommended!

Hello and a late welcome to HDN

Of course, there's a whole Arrow Section with all releases. Pieces you can finde HERE as a Special Edition with Vinyl & Puzzle and HERE as a separate thread for the edition without goodies

Just FYI, if you ever looking for a specific thread on HDN you can use the search function at the top right of the site. Put in the title you're looking for, a drop down menu opens where you can mark "Search titles only" and it will show you all threads with for example Pieces

Here's a screenshot:

I just got some Info from a trusted source who has the Disc in hand already and tested the Disc on a multi-region machine set to region A

The Disc played when Set to Region A

So it's Region Free

Pardon my ignorance.. what is "tighter compression" when it's at home?

Pardon my ignorance.. what is "tighter compression" when it's at home?

Don't like the choice of words by the reviewer.but.it most likely means the video is encoded at a higher bit rate which theoritically means less motion and film artifacts noticeable on larger screens.

 

[paulboland]

Note the review copies where screeners copies not retail copies and might have had region lock removed for reviewers to play the discs
The only way to confirm 100% if Region Free is when retail copies arrive with customers

I'm not sure what it means, because using a higher bitrate mean you can use more fps and thus reduce compression.
Tighter compression actually sounds like the reverse; but with a 4k restoration that would be ludicrous!

 

[BDDB]

Pardon my ignorance.. what is "tighter compression" when it's at home?

This does come from a pretty awful site, hence the smart terminology, so I wouldn't pay any attention to this review and wait till you get it in hand. Also, I already have the German BD and it's a good transfer to begin with so we should be in for a real treat with all the extras.

I believe it means to compress something tightly!
